Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1972
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

This stately home, nestled in the shade of a park-like setting in Covington Country Club, is available now for the first time in nearly 50 years. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, quality built residence will maintain its timeless beauty, with its bricked cornerstone koins, arched entranceway, and imposing roof line, which hints to the architectural style of a French Chateau. That mood even continues inside at the entrance foyer, with its slate floor, French doors, and elegant curved staircase. Stepping through French doors into the backyard takes you to a courtyard with a refreshing pool and stand-alone cabana. And beyond that, a huge shaded backyard that can become your own private park. The primary suite is downstairs, and a large room adjacent it could be a study, nursery, or a 5th bedroom. Upstairs, 3 large bedrooms overlooking the pool and backyard. Truly a house that lives large with spacious rooms, huge closets, an enclosed 2-car garage, and walk-in attic, and lots of storage. Golf is in your footsteps on the neighborhood golf course and the clubhouse offers the community a social gathering spot. High ground, low flood risk, the best of local school districts, convenience to 1-12, 190, and Causeway offer just a few of the excellent reasons you'd choose to make this enviable home and Covington Country Club your next place to live.
